Exploring the Fluctuations of Foreign Language Enjoyment in Conversation: An Idiodynamic Perspective     

Majid Elahi Shirvan  Nahid Talebzadeh 《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2018,47(1):21-37

The main focus of this study was to discern the effect of different topics on the dynamics of one of the main variables of positive psychology, foreign language enjoyment (FLE). To do this, we used an idiodynamic method to explore the rapid moment-to-moment changes of FLE. Seven female university students engaged in a conversation involving both simple and difficult topics, and self-rated their moments of experiencing enjoyment during the conversation process. The results indicate that the dynamicity of enjoyment emerges not only within individuals, but also across individuals intra-personally under the influence of conversational topics. Furthermore, the idiodynamic method provided us with the opportunity to examine the underlying factors of the dynamic fluctuations of FLE and gain a deeper insight into FLE as a dynamic system.  相似文献

Developing intercultural communicative competence in foreign language classrooms – A study of EFL learners in Taiwan     

《Int J Intercult Relat》2021

Internationalisation has accentuated the importance of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) among language learners in higher education in the 21st century. As in the case of Taiwan, universities worldwide have begun to emphasise intercultural ‘literacy’ in language classrooms. Following Byram’ (1997) ICC model, this study adopts an intercultural approach to language classroom in order to investigate the effectiveness of explicit instruction in developing ICC among EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners in Taiwan, and to discover how this development is related to the background factors of overseas experience and English proficiency. The accompanying research therefore has two purposes: (1) to evaluate the effectiveness of explicit instruction on EFL learners’ development of ICC by employing both self-assessment and other assessment tools and (2) to investigate the relationship between the development of ICC and two background factors. The results show that (1) explicit instruction is effective in raising students’ development of ICC, especially the knowledge and skills dimensions, and (2) English proficiency and overseas experience are significantly related to better acquisition of ICC.  相似文献   

Perfectionism and foreign language achievement: The mediating role of emotions and achievement goals     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2020

The purpose of the present study was to examine the role of perfectionism in the second/foreign language (L2) learning context. To this end, we investigated the possible links between perfectionism, emotions, achievement goals, and L2 achievement. A total number of 2008 secondary school students completed the relevant questionnaires. First, confirmatory factor analysis was performed to assure the construct validity of the questionnaires. Then, separate structural equation models were conducted to examine the relations among variables. Results indicated that adaptive perfectionism was directly related to positive emotions, while the opposite pattern was found for maladaptive perfectionism. Moreover, only adaptive perfectionism was related to mastery goals, and both adaptive and maladaptive perfectionisms were related to performance-approach goals and performance-avoidance goals. Maladaptive perfectionism dimensions were negatively related to L2 achievement, while one dimension of adaptive perfectionism had positive relation and another one had negative relation with L2 achievement. Finally, mediation analysis was performed and results showed that only negative emotions and only mastery goals could mediate the relation between perfectionism dimensions and L2 achievement.  相似文献   

The potential formative benefits of portfolio assessment in second and foreign language writing contexts: A review of the literature     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2014

This article identifies the potential formative benefits of using portfolio assessment (PA) in second/foreign language classrooms by reviewing the up-to-date research. Three methods were used to search for relevant research: database search, manual search, and citation search. According to the literature, PA has potential benefits due to its process-oriented, authentic, integrated, interactive, and learner-centered characteristics. PA leads to increased motivation, learner autonomy, and improved writing performance. However, not many studies include observation as a method of collecting data. Through observation a researcher can investigate how the benefits of PA are acted upon and negotiated. There is a need for more empirical research in the juxtaposition of PA and formative assessment, particularly in primary and secondary education.  相似文献   

Teacher support and academic engagement among EFL learners: The role of positive academic emotions     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2021

Academic engagement and teacher support, as two important factors in education, have been largely neglected in the research literature of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and applied linguistics. Given the facilitative role of positive emotions in learning processes, this study aimed to examine their mediating role in the relationship between teacher support and academic engagement among Iranian EFL learners. The participants were 435 EFL freshmen randomly selected via multi-stage cluster sampling. The data were collected through previously validated measures. The results of structural equation modelling showed that perceived teacher support could directly and positively affect academic engagement. Additionally, positive emotions mediated the relationship between teacher support and academic engagement. Finally, some important implications and suggestions for further research are presented.  相似文献

外语教育学与相近学科对比研究     

李民 《外语教学理论与实践》2021,175(3):1

我国外语教育一直偏重教学实践,轻于理论建设,缺乏明确的学科依托,这已成制约其深入发展的主因之一。因此,强化外语教育理论架构,思考外语教育理论属性,探讨外语教育学科归属,对外语教育发展具有重要意义。本文在前期研究的基础上,重点探讨外语教育学这一新兴学科与应用语言学、教育语言学、二语习得、他语人英语教学和外语课程与教学论的异同,凸显外语教育学的独特性和必要性,为构建外语教育学的独立学科地位奠定理论基础。  相似文献

我国外汇储备高速增长利弊及对策建议   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

安明 《未来与发展》2007,(1):62-64,F0003

外汇储备的快速增长增强了我国的综合国力,提高了我国的国际资信,加速了国民经济的发展。同时可以增强中央银行干预外汇市场、支持本币汇率的能力,并可能最终实现人民币的可自由兑换。但外汇储备高速增长给人民币升值和通货膨胀带来压力,同时增加了储备资产管理的难度和风险。逐步探索人民币汇率新机制,充分发挥市场机制作用下人民币自由浮动汇率制度作用,加强金融监管,严防国际炒作,采取加强国际货币合作、签订区域性多边货币互换协议等措施可以在减少外汇储备前提下保持国内金融环境的稳定。  相似文献
